Tournament proper begins a week today, but yesterday Canada hosted England in their last pre-tournament friendly.
Decent match. England dominated the first twenty minutes, then Sophie Schmidt scored a peach of a goal and the air kinda went out of the visitors. No more scoring, but the opportunities were all Canada's — except a late crossbar to remind Erin McLeod to watch her positioning.
I'm really looking forward to this competition. The home team's matches will have big noisy kid-filled crowds and, with luck, the rest of the games will be well attended too.
